The documentation at [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/fielddata/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/fielddata/) seems to indicate that the index.cache.field\* settings are no longer supported in 0.90. Am I understanding this correct? My primary interest is in using soft reference field caches. Is this possible in 0.90? ~joe! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I looked into this when I first migrated to 0.90.x. I think the correct setting is indices.fielddata.cache: soft Ultimately, the memory usage is vastly improved in 0.90.x, that it was better to have the cache not be soft. -- Ivan On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 4:32 PM, Joseph Smith [joseph.smith.tm@gmail.com](mailto:joseph.smith.tm@gmail.com)wrote: > The documentation at > [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/fielddata/seems) to indicate that the index.cache.field\* settings are no longer > supported in 0.90.

Judging from what I've seen online, I think there is a lot of confusion around what can be set via the index.\* or via indices.\* (which I assume is set at in the yaml file). It would be really great if the online documentation were more clear. This is the most useful post I have found thus far: \* [0.90 facet memory issue? · Issue #2838 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/2838)\* .

I haven't tested it, but perhaps both settings might be valid, with indices.fielddata having precedence: [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/index/fielddata/IndexFieldDataService.java#L145](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/index/fielddata/IndexFieldDataService.java#L145) On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 11:49 AM, Joseph Smith [joseph.smith.tm@gmail.com](mailto:joseph.smith.tm@gmail.com)wrote: > Judging from what I've seen online, I think there is a lot of confusion > around what can be set via the index.\* or via indices.\* (which I assume is > set at in the yaml file). > > It would be really great if the online documentation were more clear. > > This is the most useful post I have found thus far: \* > [0.90 facet memory issue? · Issue #2838 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/2838)\* . > > On Tuesday, August 13, 2013 12:46:11 PM UTC-4, Ivan Brusic wrote: > > > I looked into this when I first migrated to 0.90.x.
